815 Words4 Pages

This story takes place last summer in the month of July, about one week. My family and I went on a trip out west. Our final destination was in South Dakota. We left on a monday morning and I remember my mom was trying to get me up and they almost left without me. Everyone packed their bags in the car but when I was about to put mine in the car I was informed that there was no more room and it had to get tied to the roof.

We paid the parking fee and walked probably two miles to where we first could see the mountain. “This is like nothing I have ever seen!”, said Maddie. There was a gift shop and a place to get food. Of course Aiden wanted to go to the gift shop. While they did that I went to get a ice cream cone. About 45 minutes later Aidan finally picked what he wanted and the time was 3 and we hit the road for a long trip back
